Chapter 716 New Version-Crimson Tide!
Gxy Calendar: Year 704, 17th day of the 7th month.
In the ck Star Army headquarters...
nk...
On the alloy walkway, a tall, curvaceous figure strode with her alloy boots making a nking sound whening into contact with the alloy ground. Her white-gold female armor only covered her important locations, and she wore a ck nano form fitting suit on the inside.
A few warriors from the lower rungs of the ck Star Army turned into the walkway and were wearing a simr uniform to thatdy. The moment they saw her approaching from afar, their expressions turned solemn, and they stood up straight to give a salute.
“Your Excellency Chief Administrative Official.”
Her footsteps paused for a while, and she revealed a smile in response. Her smile was like the blooming roses and radiant sunlight. The few warriors were stunned into silence and only came back to their senses after she walked far away.
“How beautiful. She is the number one beauty of the ck Star Army indeed...”
“If only I can catch her eye.”
“You must be dreaming. Her Excellency Sylvia is a Cmity Grade Super and the chief disciple of His Excellency ck Star. How could you possibly catch her eye?”
Thedy who walked afar revealed a helpless expression as she heard the conversation between the two.
She was Sylvia.
In the past seven years, she had put in all her effort into training herself (struggling for survival). After a series of tempering (suffering), hertent potential was finally realized, and she had stepped into the Cmity Grade before Version 3.0!
With her strength growing, her fame grew as well. She became the Chief Administrative Official of the ck Star Army, and people finally began to acknowledge her title as ck Star’s chief disciple.
A Cmity Grade Super had a long lifespan, and Sylvia had transformed into a beauty over the past seven years. She had a tall, curvaceous figure with her long hair drifting in the wind. She was a beauty who deserved 9.5 points at the very least. Being a beauty who was both powerful and had a high status, Sylvia became the target for many males within the ck Star Army. Among all the officers, her poprity had only lost to Feidin.
Sylvia walked all the way to the rooftop of the base. This was the highest point in the ck Star headquarters, and it was surrounded by bright, twinkling stars all around. Looking up, one could see Golden Gate like it was hanging down from the sky.
At this moment, there were many officers standing on the rooftop, and they all turned around to look at Sylvia. After ncing at those present, Sylvia could tell that pretty much all the important officers in the ck Star Army were present today. Vice Commander Lagi, Logistics Manager Reynold, Fleet Commander Herlous, Culture Instructor Rossellin, and so on. There were more than twenty people present with fifteen Cmity Grade Supers among them!
“Everyone is here. Have youpleted what I asked you to do?”
A deep voice sounded, and when Sylvia looked toward the source of this voice, a tall figure was standing at the edge of the rooftop. He was dressed in ck with his back facing the crowd. It was Han Xiao.
“Everything has been prepared ording to your instructions.” Sylvia nodded.
“Very good.”
Upon hearing that, Han Xiao turned around with a calm expression and a tinge of excitement in his eyes.
Compared to seven years ago, his appearance had not changed much, and he still looked as young as before. However, he had indeed been through plenty in the past seven years, and the wrinkles were not shown on his face but his heart. His aura had be more stable and unfathomable.
All the officers present had personally experienced Han Xiao’s change. If Han Xiao was like a ferocious lion with a tyrannical aura seven years ago, Han Xiao gave them the impression of a majestic lion at the moment. Apart from Lagi, all other officers present would be pressured by just looking him in the eye.
Today was the day for Version 3.0 to beunched. Han Xiao had waited for this day for a very long time.
It has been a full ten years... Han Xiaomented in his heart. To the yers, these ten years were nothing more than background story, but Han Xiao had personally experienced the full ten years. In order to prepare for theunch date of Version 3.0, Han Xiao had made many preparations beforehand. All his officers had arrived personally to report the progress of their preparations to him. They had only done as they were instructed but did not know the reason for it.
Compared to his previous life, Version 3.0 had quite a bit of changes.
In the past seven years, the secret war had be more and more intense. However, due to his interference, Klent was not as powerful as in his previous life, and both Section Zero and Bloodshed Land had some wins and losses. Section Zero was not on the passive side like before, and both parties were locked in an intense battle. The battlefield was no longer limited to Westwind, Kaya, and Chaida; two more Star Systems had been dragged into the <b>war.</b>
The secret war was one of the Main Storyline Missions in Version 3.0 within the Shattered Star Ring. Because of Han Xiao’s presence, the secret war was far moreplicated than in his previous life, with many more organizations participating in it in secret. When the yers returned, their first Main Storyline Mission would be the secret war that had been modified by Han Xiao!
In the past seven years, the various operations of the ck Star Army had mainly been focused on the war, mining, and employment missions. The ck Star Army had developed steadily and sessfully gained firm footing in many different Star Systems. The ck Star Army was spread across the Colton Star Cluster with more than five hundred satellite bases, three hundred thousand battleships, a hundred million members, and a worth of over a trillion!
With such arge organization, it would be a piece of cake for them to take care of a million yers. Furthermore, Version 3.0 would be the time for new yers to enter. With the performance that the Chinese yers showed in the second Pro League, there would definitely be many new Chinese yers joining the game. The ck Star Army had the capability to groom these new yers.
The seven years of war had given Han Xiao a never-ending stream of experience. He was currently at level 211, and it would have been tough for the yers to provide for his requirements during Version 2.0.
Thus, Version 3.0 would be a good opportunity for him to increase his strength rapidly again. Han Xiao also took the time toplete more than a hundred employment missions and had a stash of Mission Completion Cards.
Han Xiao’s preparations over the past seven years were akin to sharpening his own de.
It could be said that he was fully prepared for the uing harvest!
Han Xiao took a deep breath and looked up at Golden Gate. Opening the interface, he looked at the counter counting down.
Version 3.0 Activated
Fetching data... Fetching data done!
yer Forum Open.
Wee to Gxy Version 3.0—[Crimson Tide)!
It’s finally begun!
The yers’ strength would only have a qualitative change in Version 3.0. The difference between a million Grade C Supers and a million Grade B Supers was like the difference between Heaven and Earth!
This version shall be the generation for the ck Star Army to rise!
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled, and his lips curled up slightly. He then turned around to face the officers and waved his hands.
“Send out all our spaceships.”
At the same time on Golden Gate...
Because the ck Star Army headquarters had been shifted away, Base No.1, which was situated on Golden Gate, had been changed to a local agency for the ck Star Army. There were not many present, and the entire ce was extremely silent.
All of a sudden, the entire base was covered in white light, and the yers appeared one after another. The empty base was instantly filled with people, and the silent base became bustling with activity.
“Haha! We can finallye online!”
“It’s a new version!”
“It’s already Version 3.0, and we still can’t take off our pants? Bad update!” A male yer roared in rage.
“My goodness, it is already Version 3.0, and the pants stripping party still hasn’t given up?”
“We will always be around and never leave...”
“Long Sky is so cool! Hao Tian is so cool!” There were still some who were trapped in the second Pro League.
In the base, the yers all chatted with each other excitedly, and the entire base was bustling like a market.
Before the update, many yers had logged off in the various bases with the number of yers in Base No.1 being the most. More than 100,000 yers had appeared in Base No.1.
Frenzied Sword was also among the first wave of yers to log on. After the Pro League ended, he took a good break. However, he was a professional yer and could not afford to fall behind during the release of the new update. Thus, all the professional yers all logged in at the very first moment.
Frenzied Sword, Hao Tian, King Admiral, Li Ge, and the others had all logged off in Base No.1. They all gathered together and instinctively opened the interface to check any changes.
“Our attributes and skills didn’t change, but the level limit has been increased. The level limit in Version 3.0 seems to be 120,” Hao Tian said.
“The faction interface is still present. Thankfully, the ck Star Army didn’t close shop.” Frenzied Sword and many others heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the ck Star Army was still around, the Faction Contribution Points that they had spent a great deal of effort to umte would not be wasted.
After checking their attributes on the interface, the professional yers all heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the other yers also snapped out of their initial excitement and got to work.
Having experienced the previous version refresh, the yers knew what they should do. The most important thing to do after the update was to understand what had changed in the world.
Including the professional yers, all the yers in the base took out theirmunicators to see how long had gone by since thest time they logged in.
Looking at the date, everyone was immediately shocked.
“My goodness, it has been a full ten years?”
“Isn’t this a little too long? Will the NPCs from the previous version have forgotten about us?”
“Version 1.0 and 2.0 were only separated by about a year, but this was multiplied by ten times...”
“How terrifying, truly terrifying...”
“Could this be because of the Main Storyline in this version? Could it be that ten years was required to develop the Main Storyline? I remember ck Star personally revealing the existence of the Crimson Dynasty in one of Bun-Hit-Dog’s videos. Bun-Hit-Dog analyzed that Version 3.0 will very likely be rted to the Crimson Dynasty. Could this be why this version is called Crimson Tide?”
It had been a full ten years since the previous version. This discovery truly shocked all the yers. This was the longest time skip between versions!
Everyone discussed the changes as they looked around the base to see the changes over the past ten years.
Everyone quickly realized something strange. In the past version, this base was the headquarters of the ck Star Army and had many NPC mercenaries around all the time. However, the base was extremely silent now without a single NPC in sight. It was as though the entire base had been deserted.
“Could it be that something happened to the ck Star Army?” Someone opened up the Mercenary Alliance page and realized that the resume of the ck Star Army had disappeared.
Following which, everyone then attempted to open up the child AI program of the ck Star Army but received an ‘Insufficient authority, please sign up again’ message.
In the past ten years, Phillip had updated its child program many times, and the program in the yers hands waspletely useless. They had to obtain approval from the ck Star Army and submit a new application before they could use the program.
This discovery was instantly spread among the yers, and everyone immediately grew nervous.
Almost all the Chinese yers were in the ck Star Army, and the ck Star Army was already their own faction. The yers were desperate to find out what had happened to the ck Star Army in their absence.
“Let’s go take a look first.” Frenzied Sword was the most anxious, and he left the base with the other professional yers behind him.
With someone in the lead, the yers all swarmed out of the base and realized that there was not a single guard present.
Walking out of the base, the yers realized that Base No.1 was much smaller than before as though it had been renovated. Many regions had been dismantled, and it seemed extremely deste. Upon realizing this, Frenzied Sword and the others could not help but feel nervous.
The busy streets of Golden Gate were located right outside the base, and the buildings were all covered in a warm evening sun. The street waspletely filled with yers, and some yers had no choice but to activate their mechanical suits to fly up into the sky. They immediately got into action and searched for NPCs to find some clues.
Not too far away, there were a few Godoran pedestrians, and Frenzied Sword, Hao Tian, and the others immediately rushed forward.
“What do you guys want?” This pedestrian looked a little frightened.
“Don’t be afraid. We only want to ask you some questions,” Frenzied Sword hurriedly replied.
The pedestrian nodded with a tinge of fear and caught a glimpse of the ck Star logo on Frenzied Sword’s mechanical suit. His expression immediately changed, and he asked, “You guys are from the ck Star Army?”
Everyone’s face lit up. This person still knew about ck Star even after ten years! This meant that there was some hope!
Frenzied Sword hurriedly pointed to Base No.1 and asked, “Can I ask if that is still the headquarters of the ck Star Army?”
“You guys are from the ck Star Army. Why do you have to ask me that question?” The pedestrian had a queer look on his face but still replied honestly, “That is no longer the ck Star Army headquarters.”
“Then where is the ck Star Army headquarters located?” Frenzied Sword asked.
The pedestrian pointed up toward the sky and said, “It’s up there.”
In the sky?
Frenzied Sword and the others looked up doubtfully, and their faces immediately froze in ce with their jaws dropping in shock.
All the yers then looked up with their mouths wide open as though someone had cast a spell on them.
A gigantic metal floating outside the atmosphere of Golden Gate appeared in their eyes!
There was no need for them to even search. They would not be able to pretend that they could not see such a gigantic.
Could it be that the gigantic stronghold about the size of a was the current headquarters of the ck Star Army?
The hundred thousand or so yers werepletely dumbfounded!
In Version 2.0, the ck Star Army’s headquarters had only been a single base. But after ten years, the army had a that was not smaller than Golden Gate as their headquarters?
Just what did the ck Star Army experience over the past ten years?
Just what did they miss!
